Composition of Rich Hispanic Households by National Origin

Using ACS data that is easily available on the Census website for 2010, I was curious to see the composition of wealthy Hispanic households by national origin.

Mexican households are somewhere around 65% to 70% of all Hispanic households but the overall composition tilts to the other national groups as you filter through higher and higher income levels. The general heuristic is that slightly less than half of wealthy Hispanics are Mexican, about a quarter are Cuban/Puero Rican and another quarter is Central American/South American.
